Join Wilkes University for an appearance by NEPA native Kate Flannery, the author of the memoir Strip Tees, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, in the Sordoni Art Gallery.
Kate Flannery’s first word as a baby was “book.” She spent her teen years creating a ’zine and earned a paycheck from her part-time job at Hoyt Library in Kingston, Pennsylvania. “I’ve been a book lover since day one thanks to my wonderful parents who always read to me,” says Flannery. “I was built by books.”
Now Flannery has turned a new page in her book life with the publication of her memoir, Strip Tees. Though seeing her work covered in The New York Times and placed on the shelf of her hometown Barnes & Noble serves as powerful dream fulfillment, she had to battle through the nightmare corporate culture of American Apparel to bring the story to life.
